In the roughly 5 years that Tee,Johnny and I have been in care, we've never had anyone be genuinely interested in us. The only time that my siblings were fostered, it was an emergency placement. And I've never once been fostered.
So, even I can't help being excited as we arrive at the huge house that we're staying at for the weekend. I find myself, brushing my hair with my fingers and putting a smile on my face, just so they'll like me enough to take us in.
"You three ready?" Mike smiles, looking at the three us who are sat in the back of his car.
"Yeah" Tee, replies, practically jumping up and down in her seat.
"The Watson's are a very nice bunch, and they've even got a daughter who I'm sure you'll all get on great with" He says, urging us out of the car as he walks to the door and rings the door bell.
A tall man with black hair that's brushed behind his shoulders, opens the door with a smile plastered across his face.
"Mr Mulligan, good to see you again!" He shakes his hand, the three of us stifle back a laugh at 'Mulligan'.
"Uhm, Milligan" Mike corrects. "But it's great to see you too Mr Watson"
Mr Watson's attention turns away from Mike, and to me instead.
"Hi, I'm Kiara" I smile, desperate for him to like me.
"Hello, Kiara" He replies, with a weird smirk on his face, I brush it off as he looks towards my siblings. "And you two must be, Tee and Johnny"
They both just nod eagerly and smile as he leads us to the kitchen where Mrs Watson and their daughter are sat.
She immediately jumps up and rushes towards us. "Hi, I'm Hannah!"
"Hi, I'm Tee and these are my siblings Kiara and Johnny" Tee replies, smiling.
"The four of you can go upstairs, leave your stuff there, I'll bring it up later" Mr Watson says and we nod as Hannah leads us to to her room quickly.
